a five-hour energy drink or monster energy drink and for some of them when you turn the container to the back it's not sold as a beverage, it's being sold as a dietary supplement. in other words, like a vitamin or a mineral. there's a reason for that. because if it's sold as a beverage, there are some strict regulations on the amount of caffeine that can be included. for a dietary supplement, the regulations not there, at least not the same way they would be for beverages. people are led to believe these products have been approved by the f.d.a. and pose no risk. in reality, unlike drugs, or over-the-counterdrugs, dietary supplements are not reviewed and tested by the f.d.a. for safety or effectiveness before being sold to the american public. that will come as a surprise to at a lot of people. most dietary supplements today are safe and they're used by millions of americans as part of their personal choice for a healthy lifestyle. that's not true of all supplements. in 2002, a 16-year-old boy named sean riggins from lincoln, illinois a few miles away from my home in springfield died

i come from a state with a thriving renewable energy sector and two years ago we agreed to let the tax credit expire. that was $60 billion in ten years, mr. president, $60 billion. i don't understand why the oil industry can't follow ethanol's lead. i'm prowpped of the work they're doing. -- prowpped of the work they're doing. i've seen the drilling in north dakota. it's increased our domestic oil production and decrease our dependency on foreign oil but i don't need the oil companies need $40 billion. that's a lot of money to reduce the debt. we can make other commonsense changes. one i would propose is with the home mortgage deduction, near and dear to everyone's heart, cap it in $500 in a home. if you buy a million dollars home, great. you get up to $500 billion in -- $500,000 in that home. all told, the proposal coming out of senator murray's budget reduces the deficit by approximately $2 trillion. if enacted, our debt will continue in a outyou downward path where our debt-to-gpped raish -- g.d.p. -- debt-to-g.d.p. ratio would be 70%. one in that range would result in a 1% increase
